I recently bought an 1886 in .33 WCF.(124103) I took it out to shoot this morning and noticed the carrier drops slightly when moving the bolt forward, resulting in the bullet not loading into the chamber. Would this be a weak/broken carrier spring? Or something else?

Weak/broken spring check the screw it might be loose. Also a worn notch in the carrier

If the carrier is worn, is this something that could be repaired or would it have to be replaced? Thanks for your reply mike!
